In this context, Obed is part of the genealogical record in 1 Chronicles, which traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah. This genealogy is significant as it establishes the heritage and continuity of the tribe, which is central to the history of Israel. The name Obed means "servant" or "worshiper," reflecting a common theme in Hebrew names that denote a relationship with God. The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to affirm the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly the promise of a lasting dynasty through Judah, which ultimately leads to the lineage of King David and, by extension, to Jesus Christ.<p><b>Jehu was the father of Azariah</b><br>Jehu, in this context, is a lesser-known figure compared to the more prominent Jehu, the king of Israel. This Jehu is part of the genealogical line that continues through the tribe of Judah. The name Jehu means "Yahweh is He," indicating a theophoric element that reflects the worship of Yahweh. The genealogies in Chronicles often highlight the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and His promises through successive generations. Azariah, the son of Jehu, continues this lineage. The name Azariah means "Yahweh has helped," which is a common name in the Old Testament and often associated with individuals who played significant roles in Israel's history. This genealogy underscores the importance of family lines in maintaining the covenant relationship with God and the anticipation of the coming Messiah, who would fulfill the promises made to the house of David.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/azel.htm">Azel</a></b><br>A descendant of King Saul, Azel is mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin.
